Signs for Objects Already Fallen

Signs for Objects Already Fallen

 

I feel the weight of it

I’m sure sometimes you do, too

A day that starts out wrong

Things falling over, nothing but

Difficult associations

As we try to pick them up

(things and associations)

Everything drops

And I wonder if

We have the strength

To gather it all in again

And up off the floor

 

In my culture, it should be a Monday

Flush from the weekend, we

Wouldn’t notice anything that

Fell

 

We’d chalk it up (like scores for

darts in pubs) to freedom,

When we could choose

What to do

Only a day ago

Annie, How Do Lizards Leap?

Annie, How Do Lizards Leap?
(the answer might be, Very well)

Extra day
One day in four
We leap
With twelve lords
In British fancy-
Fashion

Well, I guess we
All own the song
By now

(Domains
Notwithstanding)

So leap—that’s
Falling with intention
Yet toward an
Unknown landing

Don’t expect
To touch down
(This is living,
After all)
On cushions

Taiwan Earthquake

Taiwan Earthquake

Earthquake in Taiwan
Souls are trapped
In falling buildings
Still falling

I might not last
Through rescue tries,
For my soul must be
In open space

And that’s simply personal

Not rising yet to singe the skin
The surrender of
So many lives

And living the rest:
Not any victim’s future
Understanding that
Life has
Security

World, respond

Save and stay to help,
Rebuilding human sanctity
